What is personality?

“Your personality is the type of person you are, which is
shown by the way you behave, feel and think”.- Swami Vevakanand
How a person behaves, feels and thinks, how he conducts himself
in a given set of circumstances is largely determined by the state
of his mind. Personality development in the real sense refers to
deeper levels of a person. It's beauty that captures your attention
only; personality which captures your heart.
While our informal assessments of personality tend to focus more
on individuals, personality psychologists instead use conceptions
of personality that can apply to everyone. Personality research
has led to the development of a number of theories that help explain
how and why certain personality traits develop.

According to the Bhagavad Gita, the undisciplined mind acts as our
enemy, whereas a trained mind acts as our friend. So we need to
have a clear idea of the mechanism of our mind. Can we train it
to obey us, to cooperate with us? How can it contribute to the development
of our personality?
